Mismatch

Down on my luck, if a frown cost a buck, I'd be rich
It's like the world is screaming "Dan-e-o get on your knees bitch"
Why does a fiend itch? It's 'cause he's craving for satisfaction
I've had massive action with classic rap shit but not half the traction
As others from my city
Why do I let Drake and The Weeknd make me feel shitty?
Who should take pity when God built me to murder verses?
If no one notices, should it determine what my worldly worth is? Man I don't deserve this
Feeling I'm not appealing, reeling but keep concealing
My wish to stay sleeping just to avoid Caribana weekend
And the reminder that stars are taking over Toronto
And that I'll never command a crowd like Machel Montano
Or Kes The Band, ain't no bitches be saying "yes" to Dan
Including ones I've loved and thought was part of my forever plan
Even my bredrens don't call me out like they used to
Canada's Juice Crew reduced to niggaz with loose screws
That couldn't keep our shit together, we lost our treasure
Formerly tougher than leather, now regarded as hard as a feather
It ain't fair like a darkskin dude
When it's time to include the response feels rude
Canadian North Stars at OVO, we wasn't invited
So many respected artists stood on that stage united
I felt slighted, like everything I did was derided
And had glided towards a state where with hate it collided
Down in the dumps trying to sift my way through the trash
Trying to come up with ways to come up in lieu of cash
I called Kish who's more of my brother than my boy
He said "Dan, comparison is the thief of joy"
Your accomplishments are astonishments
But the monuments built by your accomplices don't tarnish shit
What you've put together like Lego is unequivocally fuego
Like you cooked it in a New Mexican Winnebago
Wearing a yellow raincoat, bro I appreciate it
Stressing about blowing up got me feeling deflated
Horribly underrated saying I'm great is an understatement
According to members of hip-hop's under pavement
No one's mental health perfect so when pain rises to the surface
I must remember the way I've been of service
30 plus years with bars that cause tears
Stop thinking your constant prayers are lost on God's ears
Your daughter is proof that all you've made is incomparable
Everything you wish is possible, you're unstoppable
Deadly damn it, the whole planet should call dispatch
The world vs. Dan-e-o's a motherfuckin' mismatch
And you know what I like
I like chillin' Monday Night Raw watching
Me and Dan-e-o at the SkyDome when it's in town
Make some noise for Dan-e-o!
